That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
I suspect in the near future it will be impossible to buy a TV without spyware/adware. The only option will be to not connect it to the internet and run your own Raspberry PI/SBC based solution.
Oligarchs are going to do oligarch things.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Macedonia, Botswana or the US.
The issue being discussed does not fall under defamation.
You would be fine with AI-gen porn images of your teenage daughter being distributed around the internet?
I believe it’s notably worse. The focus seems to be more on industrial use cases with stationary batteries.

Even if you are not doing anything particularly sketchy, you still want to make a habit of using multiple unrelated email addresses and always using alts with new unrelated names.
That’s some pretty bad opsec, using a single email address with the same nick.

Very difficult and super complex ethical choice!
